Hi @Kaka_Isaac

Thank you for sharing this experience with us,

We introduced a feature recently where API calls from IPs not whitelisted are rejected. This can be fixed by whitelisting IPs. Here are some steps to so this from your dashboard;

  1. Log into your dashboard.
  2. Select Whitelisted IP address from your settings menu.
  3. Click on the “Add IP address” button.
  4. Enter your server IP and confirm Configuration with 2FA.
    You should add 0.0.0.0 in the interim while you whitelist static IPs (You can check out this content for more context.)

After setting up the above, you can then retry the API request.
